Food Safety Weekly Recall Round-up

A selection of the biggest recalls from around the world in the last week.....

1 June - Crown Prince has ordered wholesalers to suspend shipments and retailers to remove tins of its South Korean oysters from their shelves.

The recall follows a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 25 May 2012 notification, which changed the status of fresh and frozen Korean shellfish. Shellfish products from the country are now considered to be adulterated.

“This only affects oysters from South Korea. No other Crown Prince items or countries of origin are affected by this recall,” said the notice.
